Chapter 9 She doesn't remember my voice!

When Song Yu returned to Beijing after the New Year, he was already living in the large flat he bought here.

Some of the studio staff have not yet officially taken up their positions.

For people in their line of work, holidays and rest time are different from those of ordinary people, and irregular working hours are necessary, unless they are one of the few permanent employees staying in the office.

Their working hours and holidays all follow the artists' schedules. They only have free time when Song Yu completely disappears or retires from the entertainment industry.

But the arrival of that day also means that they will be unemployed.

This year, it is rare that the boss has no work arrangements for the New Year, so everyone can go home together to celebrate the Spring Festival holiday. However, on the day of the official announcement of the spokesperson, we have to go online and release brand materials for promotion, but the materials are all prepared in advance.

Boss Song is well-known for being nice to his employees. It doesn't matter if they come back to work a few days late.

So when the remaining few people come back one after another in the next few days, everyone will be able to take up their posts. Artist Song Yu’s first work arrangement after the new year is about to come.

At night, she put on a facial mask and listened to her executive agent Sister Lin on the other end of the phone reporting on the schedule for next month.

"The first event for the new official spokesperson was held in South Korea."

"I had already negotiated with the brand before the New Year, and all the documents for those going abroad are ready."

"When the time comes, Huahua and the others will go to Korea with you."

"We found the photographer, but the brand arranged the makeup and costumes themselves once we got there..."

She reported every detail one by one. In Song Yu's current schedule, the team has coordinated these activities very well and she doesn't need to worry about them at all. She knew about this Korean event a year ago and wanted to tell her sister-in-law about it when she returned home, but she forgot about it when she had too many things to do.

I don't know how long my sister-in-law and her family will stay in Korea...

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving for Korea the day after tomorrow to participate in a brand event. I have about two days of free time reserved. If you're still here, let's go and have some fun together!"

After sending a voice message, I remembered that there was an hour time difference between the two countries. I looked at the time on my phone and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

In Korea, it's about 11 o'clock...

"I guess he's asleep."

Putting down his phone, Song Yu ignored it, tidied up the room, and prepared to pack his suitcase for his trip to Korea the day after tomorrow.

Just as she was about to unpack the boxes and sort them out, she heard a cell phone ring, not a WeChat voice message. Song Yu guessed that it was an international long-distance call from her sister-in-law.

Several people in the team who have been with her for many years, including assistants and agents who are in China, are used to making voice calls.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an international roaming call, but it was an unfamiliar number?

Song Yu remembered that her sister-in-law's number was Chinese. Could it be that she also had a Korean number?

If so, it’s not surprising. I’m Korean and I have work, business, family and friends there.

She hesitated for a few seconds and then answered the call.

"Hello?", she said in Chinese.

There was no reply, so Song Yu didn't suspect anything and called "Hello" twice in a row, but there was no sound. He said "Hmm?" and looked at the number again.

Is it a wrong number?

I called her by mistake using a Korean number, right?

It was still a scam call, and the caller ID was changed.

Just as I was about to hang up, the person on the other end finally spoke. It was an unfamiliar male voice.

"Hello!", still in Korean.

She frowned. Who is it?

Are the Koreans who know her private number her friends in Korea?

But over the years, she has had very little contact with people there or her former colleagues, and the few close relatives she keeps in touch with are mostly met abroad.

While attending events and meeting artists from my former company several times at fashion weeks, we would exchange a few words when we met on site.

But everyone is very busy and has not been in the Korean entertainment industry for many years. If they don't maintain their interpersonal relationships, their friendship will definitely fade, not to mention leaving each other's contact numbers on the spot, and the one she left was her Chinese number.

While she was stunned, the person on the other end seemed to be afraid that she would hang up directly, and asked, "Is this Yunaxi?"

Men use honorifics.

Oops! He asked right away if it was her real name, Yuna, and confirmed it was someone who knew her, but not necessarily someone she knew.

To be cautious, Song Yu could only reply, "Yes, it's me."

...........

Before someone reveals his identity, he has to say it first. Song Yu waited for the man's voice to first explain his identity and then his purpose.

But she never expected that the man would say, "I am Quan Zhilong."

This is no less than someone calling you and saying, "I'm Qin Shi Huang, please give me 10 million!"

The Quan Zhilong mentioned by the other party was someone she knew, a name that had been forgotten for a long time, belonging to her ex-boyfriend.

A man who had been lying dead on her list of exes for eight years.

How to say it! If nothing unexpected happens, her relationship with the other party is certain, and there will be no new contact in her life. At this time, a late-night call came in, and the person on the other end told her directly that it was Quan Zhilong. Song Yu felt that if she didn't hang up the phone, she would be a fool.

"Oh? Quan Zhilongxi wants to borrow money from me?"

"Your Korean is good, but next time, don't pretend to be a celebrity, especially this guy, you liar!!"

"You're crazy! Why don't you just say you're Qin Shi Huang?"

There was a beeping sound, and before Quan Zhilong could say anything else, the woman on the other end had already hung up the phone.

"Mo! Do you think I'm a liar?"

The three words "Qin Shi Huang" were spoken in Chinese, which Quan Zhilong didn't understand, but from the tone of his voice, it seemed that the man didn't think it was a good word to say to himself.

Without makeup, her beautiful hazel eyes were filled with disbelief, and his daughter, Xiao Taotao, stared at him blankly with her grape-shaped eyes.

The child just leaned close to his father's ear just to hear his mother's voice, but...

Why is there no sound?

.

Back to a few hours ago, before Lee Joo Hyuk left the Kwon family, Kwon Ji Long listened to Lee Joo Hyuk's advice. The so-called monopolizing his daughter was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​his.

It's so unreliable that even he knows it.

He picked up the tablet and began his first strange journey of archaeological excavation of his ex-girlfriend, from recalling every detail of their relationship to all the variety shows Yuna's fans had appeared on in Korea over the years since her debut.

At that time, Korean variety shows were popular, including farm work shows and outdoor chase shows... Except for dating shows, she was on all the other ones.

Unlike idol groups, where several members share the burden and can be arranged by the company to participate in different programs, which are all schedules that can bring fame to the group, Yuna debuted solo, so she has to take care of all the schedules by herself. It can be seen that she is struggling.

Although there are many people sharing resources in the group, sometimes the mutual support among teammates is also very effective. Kwon Ji-yong deeply agrees with this, although in the later period, their group appeared on Korean variety shows less frequently than on Japanese variety shows.

When Yuna participated in large-scale programs such as Strong Heart and Star King, she was often arranged to go with the members of the function group. They were of similar age and debuted in the same year. When seniors from other companies came to help and speak on the show, he could see that the smile on the girl's face was different.

Finally, after she returned to China, her career went smoothly. Anyone with eyes could see which side Yuna liked better and where there was greater room for career development.

After 14 years, the face in the video gradually evolved into the actress Song Yu that they saw on the giant screen during the day.

A name pronounced in Korean is ? ? , Song Yu.

But in little Taotao's eyes, this was the mommy she was familiar with. She watched intently and heard her father was about to play the guessing game with her again.

Quan Zhilong, like a wolf grandmother with bad intentions, came close to his daughter and squatted down to her eye level.

Whether it was Quan Zhilong in front of him or the familiar father, they made the same actions, and Xiao Taotao also liked her father communicating with her in this way.

"Baby, let Daddy test you."

In the past few days, Quan Zhilong didn't know how many times he had said this to his child, causing his daughter to always look at him and say "Dad is so stupid" or have similar conversations.

Look, here it comes again!

"Taotao, can you recite Mommy's phone number?"

Quan Zhilong also had a flash of inspiration and thought that children should be able to remember their parents' phone numbers.

According to his educational philosophy, letting children remember their parents' numbers will help them find them if they get lost and go to the police station.

There must be, right?

Little Taotao looked into his eyes. The little girl's silence made Daddy Quan feel a little uncertain. Suddenly, a small hand reached out to his forehead, and he felt a cool touch. He heard the child's baby voice say, "Daddy, are you sick?"

Otherwise, why do you always ask her these questions?

How could Daddy not remember Mommy’s phone number?

Although she always says "Dad, you are so stupid", Xiao Taotao will be very sad when her dad is sick. Her friends in kindergarten said that dads at home will never tell her when they are sick. She doesn't know whether Quan Zhilong is really sick because he always asks her some strange questions.

When Dad and Uncle Li recognized Mommy's poster during the day, their reactions were equally cold. Normally, Dad was always the first one to take out his phone to take a picture of Mommy.

Mommy said, "Dad's behavior of taking pictures is just like grandma's at home."

Little Taotao continued to remain silent, looking at people with a stern face. If Quan's mother was present, she would definitely say, "It's exactly the same as the way Zhilong looked when he was angry as a child, especially those cold eyes."

She touched her father's forehead and it wasn't hot.

Then it's not illness.

"Dad.....you and mommy~"

What is it?

Quan Zhilong looked puzzled, and then asked, "Are you divorced?"

Otherwise, why do I keep asking her some strange questions? Mommy has returned to China to work, but... before, when I lived in Korea, I would never go without seeing my grandparents and aunt for several days in a row.

"Ah?" The child suddenly asked about his grandparents, and the issue of divorce came up again.

The child's eyes clearly showed "Are you guys lying to me?"

Dad Quan finally panicked. He just asked for a phone number, but his daughter had such a rich imagination and was so sharp that she noticed everything was wrong so quickly and was able to sort it out herself before telling him.

Is a three-year-old child already so smart and precocious?

But if you want to know Yuna's current phone number, you can't avoid asking the child these questions.

My throat felt like it was being pressed down by a thousand-pound object. I couldn't make any sound. The words that came to my lips had to be swallowed back. I tried to think about how to organize my words so that my three-year-old child could understand them simply and clearly and not cry at me.

"Baby, listen to what daddy says..."

But just as Quan Zhilong was about to speak, the child in front of him, who had been looking at him at eye level, suddenly had tears in her grape-shaped eyes. She looked at him pitifully with tears in her eyes, as if she would cry if her father said yes in the next second.

Quan Zhilong: “.............”

It’s also a problem if the child is too smart!

...........

An hour later, the child's eyes were red from crying. If he couldn't get the number, Quan Zhilong would cry too.

Under Xiao Taotao's expectant eyes, the man dialed the phone. He had prepared an opening line in his mind, but after saying "Hello", his brain short-circuited and he almost hung up.

After finally finding his voice, he calmly said the greeting he had prepared, and then introduced himself.

But she waited for silence from the other end, and then she spoke in a cursing tone (it must have been a cursing tone!), calling him a liar and asking him not to call and harass her, and then hung up.

The father and daughter were left standing there, staring at each other.

Quan Zhilong: "Has she forgotten my voice?"

But he knew it was her as soon as they spoke!

Xiao Taotao: "Dad, what should I do?"

...Mommy doesn't remember you?

After Quan Zhilong's explanation for an hour, Xiao Taotao vaguely understood that her parents were not divorced, nor did they abandon her, but something had happened, and she needed her mother to come back to Korea and go with her father to confirm it...

Ah~ Actually, the child still doesn’t quite understand.

But as long as her parents don't divorce, it's okay. Her friend in kindergarten said that if they divorce, she will have a new father and a new mother.

Xiao Taotao doesn't want anyone else to be her new parents!

Dad said that all he needed was the phone number she memorized to find his mom.

but.......

Mom hung up the phone with Dad.

How could she forget her father's voice?

.

Although the number was not blocked, when I called again, the call was hung up immediately.

Helpless Quan Zhilong sent an international text message.

But in order to avoid being blocked if he really posted it, he briefly explained the situation in words.

And then at the end, 'Trust me, the rest of the information is on Instagram.'"
